Last night the San Diego Loyal walked off the pitch at the start of the second half after a team member was called a Batty Boy by a member of the opposition. Landon Donovan (coach of the Loyal) asked the referee and opposing coach to take action, but the referee said he didn't understand what the term meant so couldn't take action and the opposition manager refused to and was caught on camera saying "its part of soccer".

Landon's post game comments:
Whilst I would like to think this is a line in the sand that other clubs, and national teams, build upon, I can't see it. However, thankfully, I'm seeing almost nothing but support for the Loyal, including amongst opposition fans.
